I never loved talking about myself. Baseball, for me, has always been about showing up, doing the work, and helping people move forward. If you stay long enough in this game, you realize it is not really about you anyway. It is about the players, the staff, the families, and the communities that surround a team.

I have been lucky to spend most of my life inside clubhouses and ballparks. From scouting and coaching to managing and building rosters, I learned early that the smallest details matter and that relationships matter even more. Over the years, baseball gave me opportunities to wear a lot of hats, but the purpose stayed the same. Help teams compete. Help players grow. Do things the right way.

Offensive training can easily become cluttered. New drills. New metrics. New technologies. If we are not careful, hitters can end up chasing everything except what actually makes them better hitters.

In our program, we simplify the process. While we use modern toolso tools and data, our offensive training always comes back to three core focus areas that guide everything we do in the cage, on the field, and in competition.
